Will moth balls keep turtles away from plants?

Mothballs contain chemicals that can be toxic to animals, including turtles, and their strong odor may deter some wildlife. However, using mothballs is not a humane or environmentally safe method for keeping turtles away from plants. Additionally, turtles may not be significantly affected by the scent, and there are more effective and safe alternatives for protecting plants, such as physical barriers or repellents specifically designed for wildlife. It's best to explore those options instead.
